Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Spot repairs can be useful on a tight budget. But if the rest of the run is the same age and product, it’s typically not far behind. Where it helps, we quote both options. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Ugley Green. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Colour agreed before work starts

How we handle expansion joint sealing in Ugley Green
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. We reseal deck and ramp joints with a trafficable sealant chosen for the movement, phasing bays so the car park can stay in use. We work on cladding panel joints, car park decks and ramps and podiums and floor movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are joints where the bead has lost adhesion and water dripping through deck or ramp joints. Most enquiries from Ugley Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Ugley Green, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Ugley Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Plan racking layouts so feet don’t land on a joint
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
- Record the sealant used and the date in the O&M file
- Brief car park operatives to protect joint lines during winter clearance
In warehouses, forklift and pallet-truck routes take the most wear. Avoid standing heavy loads or racking legs on the joints and flag chipped arrises before they spread.
When one joint fails, others of the same age are rarely far behind. Inspecting the whole run is worth the effort, so the work can be planned rather than rushed. We can suggest an order, worst joints first.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Ugley Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First, the joints are inspected for width, movement and the type of failure.
- A fixed quote follows, naming the sealant and its movement class.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Where the maker calls for primer, it’s applied first, then the bead goes in and is tooled to a concave finish.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Cladding panels move more than masonry as they heat and cool. A sealant with the right movement class is chosen.
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies before the bead goes in.

Common questions from Ugley Green clients

Does the weather affect joint sealing?
Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frost, rain and condensation on steel or concrete can hold up external work.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
The specification comes first, then the joint’s movement and exposure. The quote states the sealant and its movement class, so you know what’s going in.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Signs you need expansion joint sealing in Ugley Green
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Dusty, damp or contaminated faces, a missing primer and three-sided adhesion are the usual causes.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Arrises breaking up along floor joints
- Rain penetration at brick or block movement joints
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints packed with grit and debris
Business parks such as Golds Nursery Business Park, 0.5 miles east of Ugley Green, have car parks, paved areas and long brick and panel elevations, all with movement joints.
